I guess I might be inclined to get a saw and some wood and make my own v groove rod wrapper rather than pay $100. Although to some that may be a hassle and they might prefer to buy the kit.
I agree with John that you should do a few for yourself before attempting to make some for others. You can almost always find rod blank deals on the internet. Often you will see some deals at the shows. i don't mean $200 blanks for $150 since even $150 is a lot of money for a beginner to risk. You will often see blanks for $20 , thats the ones to practice on. I got a St Croix 7 foot light rod for $20 at the MSBA show last year. Nice rod. You'll need a dryer motor as John mentioned. There are several speeds for dryer motors. Some like very slow , some like about 18 RPM's. It all depends on what you are doing. Lots of people make home made dryers using rotissiery motors.
